Case Study from the year 2020 in the subject Politics - Topic: Development Politics, grade: 1.7, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London (Development Studies), course: Development Practice, language: English, abstract: Less attention, however, has been paid to the role of organisational interests and capacities for shaping development outcomes. In the following, their role as well as that of surrounding factors will be illuminated. It will be argued that comprehensive analyses of a development organisations behaviour-outcome-nexus has to rely on structural aspects, including contexts, trends, organisational logics and goals. First of all, in order to understand the behaviour-outcome-nexus, one has to take a step back and shed light onto the structures in which these development organisations (DOs) operate. As it is frequently pointed out, the higher the number of (I)NGOs in a transnational sector such as development , the higher the (in)direct transaction costs. This includes, for example, costs related to selecting recipients, monitoring aid projects and collecting information and funds more generally. Consequently, and acting in both directions, the higher the transaction costs for a respective DO, the higher the uncertainties and competition.
